Gaza Belt Leaders May Boycott Special Government Session

Local government leaders in the Gaza Belt region may boycott a special government session Sunday that is to be held in southern Israel. According to Israeli TV Channel 2, the special session was originally planned to take place in the Sderot municipality.

However, this idea was shot down because Sderot's mayor, Alon Davidi, attacked Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon during the war, calling him “a minister without security” (as opposed to the Hebrew version of his title, which means “minister of security”), deriding him as “limp” and saying that he should resign.
